...Between 1993 and 1998, she kept a journal chronicling those uncertainties. "I've always been very, very aware of wanting to be understood as being the person that I really am," she says. So, partly in order to figure that out, she started to write, detailing the years-long arc of her relationship with a man 12 years her senior that began when she was still a teenager, her first trip to the Oscars, their breakup, her grief over his death in 1997, the making and release of Titanic, a list of every movie she turned down in its wake...

Prepubescent marriages and gruesome practices like genital mutilation and the imposition of chastity belts have long been used in the name of guarding a girl's "purity."

...need him to make a splash and make his presence felt.”Harvard made 21 free throws, double the number of its opponent’s attempts from the line, but the Crimson made only four three-pointers, going zero-for-six from behind the arc in the second half.

Wittman and Wroblewski combined for 27 points from three-point range alone.But not all the blame rests on Harvard’s thinly-spread defensive efforts—Cornell’s shooting was on. The Big Red boasted a 61.9% field-goal percentage throughout the game.OFF THE BENCHHarvard?...
...played lock-down defense on the perimeter to retain control. The Big Red shot just 4-of-15 from distance after halftime—before she hit her first three with 6:11 to play in the game, Cornell guard Allie Fedorowicz had been 0-7 from beyond the arc. Harvard converted just one of two three-pointers in the second half, but it was a big one—after the Big Red seemed ready for a final push, Berry drilled a three to push the lead back up to 11 with under five minutes to play. Cornell never...
